I found out last night that our embroidered club shirts are �30 each!!!

This means members pay �120 annual subs and �8 per game match fees. ON top of that, the shirt is an extra �30.

Now I love my club and I proud to wear the Chertsey blue - but these are tough times for some people, and I think that's a bit rich. I'm well aware of the cost of embroidered clothing, and I can see a huge mark-up here. In addition to this, I'm constantly being told the club is comfortably well off. I'm sure I read somewhere that some clubs give you a shirt as part of your membership fees.

What does playing cost other people - or am I out of touch with what other clubs do?

When I sponsored our club I subsidised the cost of the shirts for members, we added �20 onto our annual subs to make it �50 a season which once members had paid they got a shirt given to them in return. Match subs �8 for adults and �5 for students, �3 junior members.

It made it easy to see who had coughed up their subs then too.

This season we have a new sponsor and have a club shop set up using GN kit, a short sleeve adult shirt is �19. Which is reasonable as it included sponsors logo on the chest and club badge embroidery too.

It's a tricky one as our new sponsor is frustrated at the amount of players that have bought the new shirts with their logo on them but if people already have kit that doesn't need replacing its tricky to get them to spend �19 on another.

Branded shirts are more expensive, I imagine one of our forum sponsors could sort one out for around the �20 mark depending on spec.

The sponsor issue is an interesting one. When the main shirt sponsor changes we, as players, are faced with one of two options either the purchase the new shirt with new sponsor or else gaffer tape over the previous one. This year, one chap had so much tape on him he looked like he must of had a puncture. I sympathise with the sponsor who is paying for his brand to be seen but at the same time I feel for the part-time amateur who is asked to pay an additional 23 quid on top of a 240 membership, match fees, petrol costs, kit costs etc.

We pay $130 aud for our subs and 10$ for ball fees on game day. With that we get a playing shirt, trousers, cap and a training shirt. Our tops aren't embroidered they are sublimated graphics (I think it's called that)

we charge top quality bespoke shirt with club logo embroided around �17.50

We pay 50 subs or what players can afford club kit is an optional extra caps 5.00 shirts with printed club logo 12 . 00 but nobody has brought one for years.
That said I know many of the bigger WCL league clubs for season 2015 put the annual subs up then added anything from a further 20.00 upwards for a compulsory club shirt.

�30 annual club fee plus �5 per game. For �30, as a new player you get;

Adidas playing shirt, fully embroided
Adidas trousers, fully embroided
Baggy green cap, embroided with your nickname and club number
training shirt
training shorts
Any self-bought pullovers, sun hats, etc. embroided for free

Existing players still pay �30 annual membership, but a great incentive for new players to get their playing and training kit at that price...

Big sale on club kit this year,�25 for shirt and trousers,most of us have jumpers from the last lot we had done.
Quality of the kit is not great,most wear it in ones and twos but not in threes and fours.mine accidentally got covered in oil ftom my car and got ruined(!).
Subs wise..tricky one.im on the committee and very involved in setting fees,weve had to raise money in the past so i put them up,now we are ok on finances im thinking of a slight reduction
Currently �11 per game,�95 per year.
The vast majority pay ok but this year im thinking its getting pricey to play cricket
Most of us play sat and sun may till september-add it up its quite a lot
